Hi Dave,

I see we are neighbors :D. I can see where you going with this image. I would like to see the bird a little lower in the frame. I'm not sure about the black incomplete "frame".

See you around!

I like the pose and it is a good-looking specimen. I would have preferred the bird swimming toward you, a lower angle and I see a magenta cast on my monitor. There are also some artifacts, maybe due to heavy compression.
